Profile:
A wonderful bat, who captained India 14 times, Hazare amassed a
career first class average of 58.19 over 32 years of cricket,
including 57 centuries. His record in domestic Indian cricket was
phenomenal, with two triple centuries - the second an amazing
309* out of a total of 387. His 4th wicket stand of 577 with Gul
Mohammed. His test average is bettered only by Gavaskar (excluding current
players), and he recorded at least one Test century against each
of his opponents. In 1947-48, he made two hundreds in the 4th
Test against Australia, the first Indian to do so. His technique
was founded on a very solid defence, and his powers on
concentration. He had, however, a wide repertoire of attacking
shots, notably his square cut. A small man, he used his arm
strength and wrists, and at times would improvise to great
effect. He was also a useful medium pacer, more so in first
class cricket with 565 wickets at only 24.83 than in tests, and
an excellent fielder. A quiet and undemonstrative captain, he had
moderate success, drawing his home series against England, then
losing heavily in the return in 1952, and was discarded as captain after
a narrow loss in the West Indies. He played another 13 years, but
never again in Tests.
